After cutting away the loose woolen threads from his loom, 28-year-old Senegalese weaver Seydina Oumar Cisse turns the roll to watch the tapestry gradually take shape before his eyes. Everything from the colors to the design is identical to the original work created by Senegalese artist Cheikh Diouf.

Cisse is a weaver at the Senegalese manufacturers of decorative arts in the central city of Thies, a leading producer of high quality artistic goods on the African continent.
